Old Weller Antique, 107 Proof 750 mL
12900
The High-Proof Benchmark of Wheated Bourbon
Old Weller Antique 107 (frequently referred to by collectors as OWA 107) is a flagship expression produced at the world-renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky (DSP-KY-113). Bottled at a robust 107 proof (53.5% ABV), OWA stands out as the highest-proof core offering in the W.L. Weller lineup, a bolder, more concentrated profile than its sibling, the 90-proof Weller Special Reserve.
Built on the legendary Buffalo Trace Wheated Mash Bill, which replaces traditional rye with wheat as the secondary grain, Old Weller Antique delivers an exceptionally full-bodied, velvet-smooth texture coupled with an intense, spicy-sweet complexity.
Collector & Enthusiast Highlights
- Optimal 107 Proofing: At 53.5% ABV, this whiskey retains maximum barrel oils and dark wood sugars, bridging the gap between everyday drinking options and hazmat cask-strength expressions.
- Historic Legacy: Named in honor of William Larue Weller, the 19th-century distiller who pioneered using wheat in bourbon production, preserving the heritage once elevated at the original Stitzel-Weller distillery.
- High secondary value & allocation: Consistently ranked as a primary target for "Weller Completionists" building out the full 6-bottle rainbow set.
Official Tasting Notes
- Nose: Bold and inviting. Opens with heavy notes of sweet vanilla bean, toasted cinnamon stick, maraschino cherry, and warm dark caramel.
- Palate: Chewy, coating, and full-bodied. The wheat softness immediately balances the 107-proof heat, revealing flavors of honeyed stone fruit, butterscotch, sharp baking spices, and cassia bark.
- Finish: Long, warming, and complex. Decays into lingering notes of dark cocoa, roasted nuts, oak spice, and a gentle citrus peel sparkle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Old Weller Antique 107 different from Weller Special Reserve?
A: While both feature the signature Buffalo Trace wheated mash bill, Old Weller Antique is bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV) compared to Special Reserve's 90 proof (45% ABV). The higher proof of OWA yields a significantly thicker mouthfeel, bolder spice notes, and a more concentrated finish.
Q: Is Old Weller Antique 107 allocated?
A: Yes. Buffalo Trace limits the distribution of Old Weller Antique 107 worldwide. Due to massive demand from whiskey collectors and high awards scores, it is considered a strictly allocated release that sells out rapidly at retail.
